I talked with reph, and they said that they tiddied it up a bit, to match the format of the Wiki, and put it under Zone 1. It is still there. Just looks different.

I'm not an editor but the best place to find the info behind the scenes of any given wiki page is the discussion tab at the top.

In general, if you make an edit on the wiki and it gets subsequently changed, the best thing to do is to check the page's history. Every page has a "history" tab on the top, clicking it will take you to a list of all the edits made to that page, along with the reasons why the edits were made. For example, this is the history page for Ninendava.

If that doesn't provide the answer you're looking for, then you should post a question on that article's talk page, rather than here on the forums. Most wiki editors do not participate in the forums and are therefore unlikely to see questions posted here. Also, it's best for the wiki to keep discussions about a page's content paired up with the page so future editors can understand why actions were taken. Therefore, the best place for a question like SwordSlayer's initial question is Ninendava's talk page (where SwordSlayer did also post a question; I'm just clarifying for the sake of anyone else wondering how the system works).

Also, most of this type of information about how to contribute is covered on the wiki help pages, e.g. Help:Editing Page.

As for the specifics of the dungeon walkthroughs, I've also responded directly to SwordSlayer separately (just in case anyone is wondering why I haven't really answered the original question!)
